Celebrating a Century of Sisterhood & Service

100 Years of Sisterhood, Scholarship & Service

On December 23, 1923, twenty visionary women chartered Xi Omega as the first Alpha Kappa Alpha graduate chapter in Washington, D.C. Many of them were educators in the District of Columbia, unified by their commitment to service and scholarship. Over the past century, Xi Omega has upheld this legacy through educational initiatives, community engagement, and advocacy.

Throughout its history, Xi Omega has championed education, hosting college fairs, supporting academic achievement, and leading youth enrichment programs. Our impact extends beyond education, with initiatives promoting healthcare, economic empowerment, civic engagement, and social justice. From voter registration drives to youth mentorship programs, our chapter has continuously served the Washington, D.C. community with dedication and excellence.
